阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
World-Famous Scenic Wonders to Explore
Our planet is home to countless amazing scenic spots, where natural beauty and human wisdom integrate to create unforgettable experiences. These destinations not only attract travelers worldwide but also carry rich cultural and historical meanings.
The Great Wall of China
First built in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Great Wall of China is one of the “Seven Wonders of the Ancient World”. Stretching over 21,000 kilometers, this longest military defense project in the world winds through mountains like a huge dragon, displaying the ancient Chinese people’s wisdom and perseverance. As a world cultural heritage, it has become a must-visit for those eager to feel China’s profound history.
The Taj Mahal
Built in the 17th century by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife, the Taj Mahal is a masterpiece of Mughal architecture, mixing Indian, Persian, and Islamic styles. Made of white marble with precious stones, this ivory-white mausoleum stands beside the Yamuna River in Agra, its marble design and complex carvings representing forever love. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful buildings in the world.
Yellowstone National Park
On the other side of the globe, Yellowstone National Park in the US stands as the world’s first national park. Covering parts of Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho, it is distinguished by unique geothermal (地热的) features—spectacular geysers (间歇泉), colorful hot springs, and bubbling mud volcanoes. Vast forests and grasslands within the park are home to elk, grizzly bears, and other wildlife, offering nature lovers a chance to get close to the wild.
The Great Barrier Reef
Another treasure is the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, the largest coral reef (珊瑚) system on Earth. Located off Queensland’s coast, it shelters diverse marine life, from vivid corals to diverse fish. Visitors can explore its underwater beauty through snorkeling or diving, making it a paradise for ocean enthusiasts.

【答案】21.A 22.C 23.C
【导语】这是一篇应用文。本文介绍了中国长城、泰姬陵、黄石国家公园和大堡礁这四个世界著名景点,涵盖其历史背景、特色及价值,吸引不同兴趣的游客前往。
21.细节理解题。根据The Taj Mahal部分“Built in the 17th century by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife, the Taj Mahal is a masterpiece of Mughal architecture, mixing Indian, Persian, and Islamic styles.(这座泰姬陵建于 17 世纪,由莫卧儿帝国皇帝沙贾汗为纪念他心爱的妻子而建造。它是莫卧儿建筑风格的杰作,融合了印度、波斯和伊斯兰的建筑元素)”可知,泰姬陵是为了纪念皇帝心爱的妻子而建,即纪念某人,故选A。
22.推理判断题。根据Yellowstone National Park部分“Vast forests and grasslands within the park are home to elk, grizzly bears, and other wildlife, offering nature lovers a chance to get close to the wild.(公园内的广袤森林和草原是驼鹿、灰熊以及其他野生动物的栖息地,为热爱自然的人们提供了亲近大自然的机会)”可知,黄石国家公园为自然爱好者提供了亲近自然的机会,因此自然爱好者最有可能前往,故选C。
23.细节理解题。根据The Great Barrier Reef部分“Visitors can explore its underwater beauty through snorkeling or diving, making it a paradise for ocean enthusiasts.(游客们可以通过浮潜或潜水来领略其水下的美景,这使得这里成为了海洋爱好者的天堂)”可知,大堡礁是水下生物爱好者的理想去处,故选C。
B
As a child, I devoted myself to books. When exams came, I revised for hours without break. But in recent years, I’ve watched that capacity for intense concentration fade into infinite phone scrolling (滚动). My attention span contracts like a candle in the wind. I want to restore that mental flexibility.
So, about a year ago, I made a small promise: every time I encountered a word I didn’t know, I’d look it up and write it down. Nothing complicated, just a running list kept, ironically, on my phone. Each week, I’d review to fix words into my memory. The list now covers almost 20 pages, and this tiny routine has been quietly transformative. Each time I look up, record and review a word, I feel a faint stretch, as though some neglected part of my brain is flexing again.
It’s not an easy habit to keep up, often impractical. If I’m reading on the subway, I have to stop mid-paragraph, pull out my phone and type “millenarianism” into my Google document while trying not to knock into strangers. It can slow my reading to a maddening pace. And then there’s the revising, dutifully scrolling through my growing word-collection like preparing a vocabulary test. Realistically, I apply maybe 5% of these words into my everyday speech. Most remain like museum pieces-admired but rarely handled.
Still, it’s made my mind sharper. I find myself reaching less often for the same tired adjectives, and more often for something precise. Few things are more satisfying than unearthing the exact word you seek.
In an age when our devices absorb our attention with merciless efficiency, it feels unconventional to use mine as a tool for slow thinking. And it’s given me back something I feared I’d lost—the pleasure of exercising a mind that, after years of mindless scrolling, is finally waking up again.
24.Why did the author begin noting down unfamiliar words?
A.To prepare for a vocabulary test. B.To collect rare words for daily use.
C.To regain the ability to focus deeply. D.To replace phone use with useful tasks.
25.What can we know about the author’s word-recording habit?
A.It requires his consistent effort. B.It speeds up his reading process.
C.It improves his everyday speech. D.It enables him to use most words.
26.What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A.Common adjectives might be misused. B.Using precise words fulfills the author.
C.Poor vocabulary does harm to thinking. D.The author no longer uses simple adjectives.
27.What does the underlined word “mine” refer to in the last paragraph?
A.The author’s attention. B.The author’s time. C.The author’s vocabulary. D.The author’s phone.
【答案】24.C 25.A 26.B 27.D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了作者如何通过记录并复习不熟悉的单词来恢复和提升自己的专注力和思维灵活性。
24.推理判断题。根据第一段“But in recent years, I’ve watched that capacity for intense concentration fade into infinite phone scrolling (滚动). My attention span contracts like a candle in the wind. I want to restore that mental flexibility.(但近年来,我发现自己这种高度专注的能力逐渐消失,取而代之的是无休止地刷手机。我的注意力就像风中的蜡烛一样摇曳不定。我想重新找回那种思维的灵活性。)”和第二段“So, about a year ago, I made a small promise: every time I encountered a word I didn’t know, I’d look it up and write it down.(于是,大约一年前,我给自己定下了一个小小的承诺:每次遇到不认识的单词,我都会查一查并记下来。)”可知,作者开始记录不熟悉的单词是为了重新获得深度专注的能力。故选C。
25.细节理解题。根据第二段“The list now covers almost 20 pages, and this tiny routine has been quietly transformative.(现在,这份清单已经快有20页了,而这个小小的习惯也在悄然改变着我。)”可知,作者记录单词的习惯需要他持续不断的努力。故选A。
26.推理判断题。根据第四段“Few things are more satisfying than unearthing the exact word you seek.(没有什么比找到你想要的准确词汇更令人满足的了。)”可知,从第四段可以推断出使用精确的词汇让作者感到满足。故选B。
27.词句猜测题。根据最后一段“In an age when our devices absorb our attention with merciless efficiency, it feels unconventional to use mine as a tool for slow thinking.(在这个我们的设备无情地吞噬着我们注意力的时代,用我的手机作为慢思考的工具,似乎有些不合常规。)”可知,划线词前面那句在说“我们的设备无情地吞噬着我们注意力的时代”,前面讲到作者用手机记录单词,因此此处表示“用我的手机作为慢思考的工具”,mine指的是“作者的手机”。故选D。
C
Anyone who has eaten near the beach has probably had a seagull (海鸥)dive down to claim their lunch at some point. Now, scientists at the University of Exeter have discovered exactly how to “keep those winged criminals at bay”, and the answer might surprise people who thought volume was the only thing that mattered.
Researchers conducted a field experiment with 61 wild gulls across coastal Cornwall. Recordings of five British men, saying the same phrase — “Stay away! That’s my food!” — twice: once shouting with anger and once speaking normally, were uniformly edited to the same volume. This ensured that differences in the gulls’ responses reflected the qualities of the human voice, rather than loudness. Five robin (知更鸟)songs served as a control. Once a gull approached, researchers played one randomly selected audio track while filming the bird’s reaction from eight meters away.
The gulls treated both shouting and speaking as threats compared to the harmless robin songs. But the real difference appeared in how the gulls chose to exit. When researchers analyzed the 47 gulls that left before the one-minute trial ended, a clear pattern emerged: gulls that heard shouting were five times more likely to fly away than those that heard the robin songs, while gulls that heard speaking were seven times more likely to simply walk away.
Flying away from danger represents a more urgent escape response than walking. Birds typically reserve flight for serious threats, as flying requires more energy and puts them at risk during mid-flight. The fact that gulls flew from shouting but walked from speaking suggests they perceived shouting as a more immediate danger, even though both sounds came through the speaker at identical volumes.
The research focused on gulls brave enough to approach the experimental setup, which may not represent the behavior of more guarded individuals. All recordings used male voices, so whether gulls respond differently to female voices remains unknown.
Still, for anyone trying to protect their beach side lunch, the research offers a simple takeaway: It’s not how loud you are, but how you speak.
28.Which aspect of human voices does the experiment focus on?

【答案】28.C 29.A 30.D 31.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了埃克塞特大学的科学家通过野外实验研究海鸥对人类声音的反应,发现海鸥对愤怒大喊和正常说话的逃避方式不同,驱赶海鸥的关键并非音量大小而是说话方式,同时也指出了该研究存在的局限性。
28.推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Recordings of five British men, saying the same phrase— “Stay away! That’s my food!”—twice: once shouting with anger and once speaking normally, were uniformly edited to the same volume.(他们录制了五位英国男性说同一句话——“走开!这是我的食物!”的两段音频,一段是愤怒大喊,一段是正常说话,且所有音频都被统一调整至相同音量。)”可知,实验中说话的语句相同,音频音量也被统一调整,唯一的变量是人类说话的情绪语调(愤怒大喊和正常说话),该实验正是聚焦这一声音维度展开研究。故选C。
29.推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The fact that gulls flew from shouting but walked from speaking suggests they perceived shouting as a more immediate danger, even though both sounds came through the speaker at identical volumes.(海鸥听到大喊会飞走、听到正常说话却只是走开的这一现象表明,即便两种声音从扬声器中传出的音量完全相同,它们仍将大喊视作更迫在眉睫的危险。)”可知,听到大喊会选择飞走,听到正常说话则选择走开,这说明它们能感知到不同的危险程度,即可以区分威胁等级。故选A。
30.主旨大意题。根据文章第五段“The research focused on gulls brave enough to approach the experimental setup, which may not represent the behavior of more guarded individuals. All recordings used male voices, so whether gulls respond differently to female voices remains unknown.(需要说明的是,这项研究的对象仅为那些敢于靠近实验装置的海鸥,其行为或许无法代表生性更为警惕的海鸥。此外,实验中使用的均为男性的声音,因此海鸥对女性的声音是否会产生不同的反应,目前仍尚无定论。)”可知,该段指出本次研究的研究对象仅为敢于靠近实验装置的海鸥,其行为无法代表警惕性更高的海鸥,且实验仅使用了男性声音,海鸥对女性声音的反应尚无定论,这些均是对研究局限性的说明。故选D。
31.主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Recordings of five British men, saying the same phrase — “Stay away! That’s my food!”—twice: once shouting with anger and once speaking normally, were uniformly edited to the same volume.(他们录制了五位英国男性说同一句话——“走开!这是我的食物!”的两段音频,一段是愤怒大喊,一段是正常说话,且所有音频都被统一调整至相同音量。)”、第三段“When researchers analyzed the 47 gulls that left before the one-minute trial ended, a clear pattern emerged: gulls that heard shouting were five times more likely to fly away than those that heard the robin songs, while gulls that heard speaking were seven times more likely to simply walk away.(研究人员分析了47只在一分钟实验结束前便离开的海鸥,发现了一个明显的规律:听到大喊声的海鸥,飞走的概率是听到知更鸟鸣叫声的五倍;而听到正常说话声的海鸥,径直走开的概率则是听到知更鸟鸣叫声的七倍。)”以及第四段“The fact that gulls flew from shouting but walked from speaking suggests they perceived shouting as a more immediate danger, even though both sounds came through the speaker at identical volumes.(海鸥听到大喊会飞走、听到正常说话却只是走开的这一现象表明,即便两种声音从扬声器中传出的音量完全相同,它们仍将大喊视作更迫在眉睫的危险。)”可知,研究核心是海鸥能通过人类的情绪语调(愤怒/平和)感知不同威胁程度,即能分辨人类是否生气。选项B“Seagulls Can Tell If You’ re Angry(海鸥能察觉你是否生气)”精准契合了文章的研究核心内容。故选B。
D
Quantities of papers have been published on the cognitive advantages of multilingualism (多语言). Beyond the conversational doors it can open, multilingualism is supposed to improve “executive function”, a loose concept that includes the ability to ignore distractions, plan complex tasks and update beliefs as new information arrives. Most striking, numerous studies have even shown that bilinguals undergo a later onset of dementia (痴呆), perhaps of around four years, on average. But some of these studies have failed to reproduce, leaving experts wondering whether the effect is real.
The good news is that it is never too late to start learning a new language, if you want your brain to benefit. A study from 2019 showed although a moderate amount of language learning in adults does not boost things like executive function, it does alleviate age-related decline.
The biggest benefits seem to come to those who master their second languages fully. That is usually because they speak the two as natives, or at least have spoken them on a near-daily basis for a long time. A bit of university French does not, unfortunately, convey the same advantages as deep knowledge and long experience. Switching languages frequently in the course of a day or conversation may be particularly important. Studies of interpreters and translators have provided some of the strongest evidence for a bilingual advantage. For example, they are faster at repeatedly jumping back and forth between simple addition and subtraction problems than monolinguals, suggesting generally better cognitive control.
Ellen Bialystok of York University, in Canada, the godmother of the field, has compared the cognitive protection bilingualism offers to the coverage of a piece of bread afforded by a slice of holey Swiss cheese. Doing other things that are good for the brain, such as exercise, is like piling the slices. Their holes occur in different places, and thus collectively offer greater protection.
But all related studies take for granted the uncontroversial mental superpower that you get from language study: being able to talk to people you could not have spoken to, or understood, otherwise. Even if you cannot pick your parents and be fluent from babyhood, that should be more than enough reason to give it a go.
32.What is the most noticeable cognitive advantage of multilingualism?
A.Opening doors to conversations. B.Improving powers of concentration.
C.Delaying the beginning of dementia. D.Boosting information processing ability.
33.Why are interpreters and translators mentioned?
A.To highlight the importance of learning more languages.
B.To prove cognitive benefit of proficiency in bilingualism.
C.To make a comparison between bilinguals and monolinguals.
D.To suggest the direct link between math and language learning.
34.What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A.Learning foreign languages gives full protection to cognition.
B.Exercise can provide greater cognitive protection for the brain.
C.The holes of bilingualism cannot be filled by any other practice.
D.Bilingualism plus multiple activities relieves cognitive decline.
35.What is the author’s intention in writing the passage?
A.To justify previous studies. B.To raise a controversial topic.
C.To encourage people to learn languages. D.To speak highly of bilingualism.
【答案】32.C 33.B 34.D 35.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述多语言对认知的优势,如提高执行功能、延迟痴呆症发作,以及学习语言的益处。
32.细节理解题。根据第一段“Most striking, numerous studies have even shown that bilinguals undergo a later onset of dementia (痴呆), perhaps of around four years, on average. (最令人瞩目的是,众多研究甚至表明,双语者患痴呆症的年龄通常会推迟约四年左右。)”可知,之前的诸多论文指出双语学习最显著的好处为延缓痴呆症的开始。故选C。
33.推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The biggest benefits seem to come to those who master their second languages fully. That is usually because they speak the two as natives, or at least have spoken them on a near-daily basis for a long time. A bit of university French does not, unfortunately, convey the same advantages as deep knowledge and long experience. Switching languages frequently in the course of a day or conversation may be particularly important. Studies of interpreters and translators have provided some of the strongest evidence for a bilingual advantage. For example, they are faster at repeatedly jumping back and forth between simple addition and subtraction problems than monolinguals, suggesting generally better cognitive control. (最大的益处似乎属于那些完全掌握第二语言的人。这通常是因为他们将这两种语言当作母语来使用,或者至少在很长一段时间内几乎每天都在使用它们。不幸的是,一点大学时期的法语并不能像深厚的知识和长期的经验那样带来同样的优势。在一天的活动或对话过程中频繁切换语言可能尤为重要。对口译员和翻译人员的研究为双语优势提供了最有力的证据。例如,他们重复在简单的加法和减法问题之间来回切换的速度比单语者更快,这表明他们的认知控制能力总体上更强。)”可知,本段首先说明双语学习对于完全掌握第二语言的人能获得最大益处,然后说对口译员和笔译员的研究为双语优势提供了最有力的证据,比如他们在简单加减法问题间反复跳跃的速度比单语者快,这表明他们一般有更好的认知控制。从而推断提到口译员和笔译员是为了通过他们的例子证明双语熟练带来的认知益处。故选B。
34.推理判断题。根据文章中第四段“Ellen Bialystok of York University, in Canada, the godmother of the field, has compared the cognitive protection bilingualism offers to the coverage of a piece of bread afforded by a slice of holey Swiss cheese. Doing other things that are good for the brain, such as exercise, is like piling the slices. Their holes occur in different places, and thus collectively offer greater protection. (加拿大约克大学的埃伦·比亚利斯托克是该领域的奠基人,她将双语带来的认知保护作用比作一块面包上的一片有孔的瑞士奶酪所提供的保护。做对大脑有益的事情,比如锻炼,就好比是堆叠这些薄片。它们的孔位分布在不同的地方,因此整体上能提供更强大的保护。)”可推断,双语加上多种活动可以防止认知下降,故选D。
35.推理判断题。根据全文可知,文章开头讲多语言认知优势虽有争议,但学习新语言永远不晚,能缓解年龄相关衰退,掌握双语有诸多好处,最后说即使不能从小流利说双语,也有足够理由尝试,整体是鼓励人们学习语言。故选C。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We all have mornings when we wake up on the wrong side of the bed. 36 However, it is not necessarily something to worry about. An occasional bad mood is human. A negative mood can even be good for you, helping you to make better decisions and prepare for danger. What matters more is how we cope when we are in a negative mood.
Be mindful and accept your feelings
“Feel your feelings, but don’t become your feelings,” advises Dr. Ethan Kross, a professor of psychology. For example, anxiety can make you feel like a failure. Instead, tell yourself, “I notice I’m feeling anxious.” 37 And remind yourself, “My feelings are valid, but they don’t determine my worth.”
Distance yourself from your feelings
If you are feeling bad, you might find yourself stuck in a negative cycle. To break it, you can try to separate yourself from your feelings. 38 Research suggests that people who refer to themselves by name or as “you” rather than “I” during self-talk are better at managing strong feelings.
Remember that feelings pass
You might fear that your bad mood will last forever. 39 Moods are often short-lived, and sometimes they are the result of physical factors such as tiredness or hunger. So, the next time you find yourself in a bad mood, take a moment to check in with your body. If you need to eat or rest, do it. Often, that is enough to lift your spirits.
Do something creative
When you feel sad, you might think your productivity will decrease. 40 In fact, sadness can promote analytical thinking, attention to detail, and persistence. Therefore, if you are feeling low, consider using the time to work on a complex project. You may surprise yourself with what you can accomplish.
A.This way, you can recognize them without judgment.
B.This simple shift in language can create a sense of psychological distance.
C.But such concerns are understandable and can also help you remain cautious.
D.But research shows that negative emotions can actually fuel creative performance.
E.We feel annoyed, anxious, or simply low for reasons that sometimes remain unknown.
F.However, the reality is that emotions, whether positive or negative, usually fade with time.
G.Therefore, it is crucial to seek professional help when negative emotions become overwhelming.
【答案】36.E 37.A 38.B 39.F 40.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讨论了人们有时会情绪低落的原因及应对策略。文章提出,偶尔的坏情绪是正常的,甚至可能有益。同时,文章给出了一些应对负面情绪的建议,如觉察并接纳情绪、与情绪保持距离、相信情绪会过去以及通过创造性工作来利用负面情绪等。
36.上文“We all have mornings when we wake up on the wrong side of the bed. (我们都有早上起床心情不好的时候。)”引出了情绪不佳的普遍现象。下文“However, it is not necessarily something to worry about. (然而,这不一定值得担心。)”进行了转折。E选项“We feel annoyed, anxious, or simply low for reasons that sometimes remain unknown. (我们感到烦躁、焦虑,或只是情绪低落,其原因有时并不清楚。)”承接上文,具体描述了情绪不佳的表现,并说明原因可能未知,与下文的转折自然衔接。故选E。
37.上文以焦虑为例,建议对自己说“I notice I’m feeling anxious. (我注意到我感到焦虑。)”。A选项“This way, you can recognize them without judgment. (通过这种方式,你可以不加评判地识别它们。)”中的This way指代上文的具体做法,recognize them without judgment解释了这种做法的好处,与上文内容直接对应,逻辑连贯。故选A。
38.本段小标题“Distance yourself from your feelings (与你的情绪保持距离)”和上文“you can try to separate yourself from your feelings. (你可以尝试将自己与情绪分开。)”。下文提到“Research suggests that people who refer to themselves by name or as ‘you’ rather than ‘I’ during self-talk are better at managing strong feelings.(研究表明,在自言自语时用名字或“你”而不是“我”来称呼自己的人更善于管理强烈的情绪。)”。B选项“This simple shift in language can create a sense of psychological distance. (这种简单的语言转变可以创造一种心理距离感。)”完美地连接了上下文,解释了如何使用语言(从“我”切换到“你”)来实现与情绪保持距离的目的。故选B。
39.本段首句“You might fear that your bad mood will last forever. (你可能会担心你的坏情绪会永远持续。)”提出了一个常见的担忧。F选项“However, the reality is that emotions, whether positive or negative, usually fade with time. (然而,现实是,无论是积极的还是消极的情绪,通常会随着时间的推移而消退。)”用However进行转折,直接回应了上文的担忧,并引出了“情绪会过去”的核心观点,与段首句紧密衔接。故选F。
40.上文“When you feel sad, you might think your productivity will decrease. (当你感到悲伤时,你可能会认为自己的工作效率会下降。)”提出了一种常见的误解。下文“In fact, sadness can promote analytical thinking(事实上,悲伤可以促进分析性思维)”则用In fact引出相反的事实。D选项“But research shows that negative emotions can actually fuel creative performance. (但研究表明,负面情绪实际上可以激发创造性表现。)”以But开头,构成转折,指出研究揭示的真相,即负面情绪可能对创造力有积极影响,完美地连接了上下文。故选D。

Here, older strangers, 42 their life experience, wisdom and empathy, will act as a listening ear, engaging in gentle 43 when needed. This is the 44 talk therapy (治疗) idea of global mental health researcher, Professor Dixon Chibanda.
The Friendship Bench Zimbabwe was founded by Chibanda in 2006. At that time, mental health received 45 0.42 percent of the total healthcare budget. The project was based on years of 46 on how to deliver mental health effectively. The friendship bench 47 a wooden park bench being put in a public space, and the 48 of kind help from so-called “grandmothers” and “grandfathers” to anyone passing. The friendship bench provides safe places in the communities for people to chat together, as talk therapy can help people experiencing 49 like anxiety and depression. The model has spread to 50 countries like Malawi, the US, Jordan, and Qatar and it has helped over half a million in the past three years.
The friendship bench is the brainchild of Chibanda. He is on a mission to 51 that support from older 52 , who are rooted in their communities, can 53 the mental health treatment access gap. Seeing huge numbers of people living with feelings of depression, exhaustion, loneliness, and anxiety, Chibanda says he was 54 to develop the model after he grasped that the answers to the global mental health 55 do not lie in more diagnoses of disorders and medications.

Becoming Guardians of Traditional Culture
Dear teachers and friends,
I’m Li Hua from Class 3. Our school recently launched a series of activities under the theme “Guardians of Traditional Culture” to help us understand, experience, and pass on China’s rich heritage.
We learned intangible cultural skills like paper-cutting and calligraphy from local artisans, and took part in traditional festivals by making zongzi for the Dragon Boat Festival and writing Spring Festival couplets. Some of us even tried Peking Opera facial painting.
Through these hands-on experiences, I have gained deeper respect for our ancestors’ wisdom and realized that protecting tradition starts with action. As young people, we can be proud inheritors and creative innovators of our culture.
That’s all. Thank you!

第二节(满分25分)
67.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Kia and I left our jobs and went on a round-the-world trip. The Arctic Circle trail (北极圈步道)had been on my bucket list for 10 years. I loved the outdoors and escaping into a simple routine of food,water and sleep.
I had two weeks to spare, so I booked the trip. Greenland is 80% ice sheet, but the trail was in the ice-free 20% in the summer, when there’s 24-hour daylight.
There were no trees, which I found quite strange — mostly low bushes and brush,and mountains like the Scottish Highlands but higher, different from what I had learnt about Greenland. The trail went through rocky valleys and small rivers. I’d never encountered such pure wilderness.
I’d prepared carefully. I was carrying all my food, maps, medicines, satellite phone and equipment. I knew, because of my travelling, I was part of the problem when it came to the environment, so I tried to leave no waste behind, and follow plant-based diet. I stayed in locally run campsites, free huts (木屋)and hotels. I even packed my thickest raincoat. Wildfire never even crossed my mind: It wasn’t California, after all.
By the seventh day of the holiday, we were ahead of schedule and in a green area between two huge,still lakes that reflected the mountains, cloudless blue sky and bright red huts. I stopped often,taking photos. I was heading for the next overnight hut and thinking about sleeping in an ice hotel at the end of the trail. It was so hot that I had my scarf tied under my cap to keep the sweat from my eyes.
At about 3 pm, I spotted some smoke ahead. Then I met two American hikers coming from that direction. They said a tiny peat fire (泥炭火灾)had broken out because the Arctic was warming two to three times faster than the global average. The smoke got a bit thicker, but I didn’t think I’d need to change my direction. I carried on.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右。
(2)开头已给出。
Paragraph 1:
But within minutes the smoke covered us.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
I later learned that the dry Arctic was perfect for the peat fires.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 But within minutes the smoke covered us. The thick gray fog blurred the mountains and lakes, choking me with its acrid smell. I fumbled for my scarf to cover my nose and mouth, quickening my pace toward the overnight hut. Flames flickered in the distance, devouring the dry bushes. Panic surged, but I forced calm, checking my satellite phone to call for help. Fortunately, the signal worked, and I was instructed to head to an open area nearby. Kia and I ran desperately, finally reaching safety as the fire raged past the hut.
I later learned that the dry Arctic was perfect for the peat fires. Warming temperatures had dried out the peat layers, turning them into highly flammable fuel. The fire I encountered was one of dozens that summer, destroying large areas of wilderness. It was a stark reminder that the Arctic’s fragile ecosystem is under severe threat. My dream trip turned into a wake-up call — I realized travel and environmental protection must go hand in hand, and I resolved to do more to advocate for the planet’s safety.
【导语】本文以“北极圈步道旅行”为线索展开,讲述了“我”和Kia辞职环游世界,终于踏上期待十年的北极圈步道之旅,前期精心准备、享受纯净荒野风光,却在行程第七天意外遭遇因北极变暖引发的泥炭火灾的故事。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
① 由第一段首句“可短短几分钟,浓烟便将我们笼罩”可知,接下来可描写烟雾蔓延后的紧急场景、“我”和Kia的应对措施(如防护、求救、撤离),突出火情的突然和紧张感,呼应前文携带的卫星电话等准备物品。
② 由第二段首句“后来我才了解到,干燥的北极地区成了泥炭火灾的温床”可知,接下来可描写火灾背后的原因(北极变暖)、此次经历带来的感悟,结合前文“我”的环保意识,升华“旅行与环保”的主题,让故事更有深度。
2. 续写线索:烟雾笼罩——紧急防护与求救——艰难撤离至安全地带——了解火灾频发的根源(北极变暖)——结合自身环保理念产生感悟——坚定环保践行与倡导的决心
3.词类激活:
行为类

②遇见:encounter/come across
③证明:turn into/prove
④决定:resolve/determine
情绪类
①恐惧:panic/fear
②拼命地:desperately/frantically
【点睛】【高分句型1】The thick gray fog blurred the mountains and lakes, choking me with its acrid smell. (运用了现在分词作状语)
【高分句型2】My dream trip turned into a wake-up call — I realized travel and environmental protection must go hand in hand, and I resolved to do more to advocate for the planet’s safety.(运用了省略引导词that的宾语从句)

World-Famous Scenic Wonders to Explore
Our planet is home to countless amazing scenic spots, where natural beauty and human wisdom integrate to create unforgettable experiences. These destinations not only attract travelers worldwide but also carry rich cultural and historical meanings.
The Great Wall of China
First built in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Great Wall of China is one of the “Seven Wonders of the Ancient World”. Stretching over 21,000 kilometers, this longest military defense project in the world winds through mountains like a huge dragon, displaying the ancient Chinese people’s wisdom and perseverance. As a world cultural heritage, it has become a must-visit for those eager to feel China’s profound history.
The Taj Mahal
Built in the 17th century by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife, the Taj Mahal is a masterpiece of Mughal architecture, mixing Indian, Persian, and Islamic styles. Made of white marble with precious stones, this ivory-white mausoleum stands beside the Yamuna River in Agra, its marble design and complex carvings representing forever love. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful buildings in the world.

As a child, I devoted myself to books. When exams came, I revised for hours without break. But in recent years, I’ve watched that capacity for intense concentration fade into infinite phone scrolling (滚动). My attention span contracts like a candle in the wind. I want to restore that mental flexibility.
So, about a year ago, I made a small promise: every time I encountered a word I didn’t know, I’d look it up and write it down. Nothing complicated, just a running list kept, ironically, on my phone. Each week, I’d review to fix words into my memory. The list now covers almost 20 pages, and this tiny routine has been quietly transformative. Each time I look up, record and review a word, I feel a faint stretch, as though some neglected part of my brain is flexing again.
It’s not an easy habit to keep up, often impractical. If I’m reading on the subway, I have to stop mid-paragraph, pull out my phone and type “millenarianism” into my Google document while trying not to knock into strangers. It can slow my reading to a maddening pace. And then there’s the revising, dutifully scrolling through my growing word-collection like preparing a vocabulary test. Realistically, I apply maybe 5% of these words into my everyday speech. Most remain like museum pieces-admired but rarely handled.
Still, it’s made my mind sharper. I find myself reaching less often for the same tired adjectives, and more often for something precise. Few things are more satisfying than unearthing the exact word you seek.
In an age when our devices absorb our attention with merciless efficiency, it feels unconventional to use mine as a tool for slow thinking. And it’s given me back something I feared I’d lost—the pleasure of exercising a mind that, after years of mindless scrolling, is finally waking up again.
24.Why did the author begin noting down unfamiliar words?
A.To prepare for a vocabulary test. B.To collect rare words for daily use.
C.To regain the ability to focus deeply. D.To replace phone use with useful tasks.
25.What can we know about the author’s word-recording habit?
A.It requires his consistent effort. B.It speeds up his reading process.
C.It improves his everyday speech. D.It enables him to use most words.
26.What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A.Common adjectives might be misused. B.Using precise words fulfills the author.
C.Poor vocabulary does harm to thinking. D.The author no longer uses simple adjectives.
27.What does the underlined word “mine” refer to in the last paragraph?
A.The author’s attention. B.The author’s time. C.The author’s vocabulary. D.The author’s phone.

Anyone who has eaten near the beach has probably had a seagull (海鸥)dive down to claim their lunch at some point. Now, scientists at the University of Exeter have discovered exactly how to “keep those winged criminals at bay”, and the answer might surprise people who thought volume was the only thing that mattered.
Researchers conducted a field experiment with 61 wild gulls across coastal Cornwall. Recordings of five British men, saying the same phrase — “Stay away! That’s my food!” — twice: once shouting with anger and once speaking normally, were uniformly edited to the same volume. This ensured that differences in the gulls’ responses reflected the qualities of the human voice, rather than loudness. Five robin (知更鸟)songs served as a control. Once a gull approached, researchers played one randomly selected audio track while filming the bird’s reaction from eight meters away.
The gulls treated both shouting and speaking as threats compared to the harmless robin songs. But the real difference appeared in how the gulls chose to exit. When researchers analyzed the 47 gulls that left before the one-minute trial ended, a clear pattern emerged: gulls that heard shouting were five times more likely to fly away than those that heard the robin songs, while gulls that heard speaking were seven times more likely to simply walk away.
Flying away from danger represents a more urgent escape response than walking. Birds typically reserve flight for serious threats, as flying requires more energy and puts them at risk during mid-flight. The fact that gulls flew from shouting but walked from speaking suggests they perceived shouting as a more immediate danger, even though both sounds came through the speaker at identical volumes.
The research focused on gulls brave enough to approach the experimental setup, which may not represent the behavior of more guarded individuals. All recordings used male voices, so whether gulls respond differently to female voices remains unknown.
Still, for anyone trying to protect their beach side lunch, the research offers a simple takeaway: It’s not how loud you are, but how you speak.
28.Which aspect of human voices does the experiment focus on?
A.The volume level. B.The special accent.
C.The emotional tone. D.The spoken phrase.
29.What do gulls’ different escape strategies suggest?
A.They can distinguish threat levels. B.They prioritize energy conservation.
C.They find robin songs more attractive. D.They recognize human language easily.
30.What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A.The applications of the results. B.The purpose of the research.
C.The process of the experiment. D.The limitations of the study.
31.What is a suitable title for the text?
A.Never Bring Food to the Beach B.Seagulls Can Tell If You’re Angry
C.A Loud Voice Scares Seagulls Away D.How Robin Songs Guard Your Picnic

Quantities of papers have been published on the cognitive advantages of multilingualism (多语言). Beyond the conversational doors it can open, multilingualism is supposed to improve “executive function”, a loose concept that includes the ability to ignore distractions, plan complex tasks and update beliefs as new information arrives. Most striking, numerous studies have even shown that bilinguals undergo a later onset of dementia (痴呆), perhaps of around four years, on average. But some of these studies have failed to reproduce, leaving experts wondering whether the effect is real.
The good news is that it is never too late to start learning a new language, if you want your brain to benefit. A study from 2019 showed although a moderate amount of language learning in adults does not boost things like executive function, it does alleviate age-related decline.
The biggest benefits seem to come to those who master their second languages fully. That is usually because they speak the two as natives, or at least have spoken them on a near-daily basis for a long time. A bit of university French does not, unfortunately, convey the same advantages as deep knowledge and long experience. Switching languages frequently in the course of a day or conversation may be particularly important. Studies of interpreters and translators have provided some of the strongest evidence for a bilingual advantage. For example, they are faster at repeatedly jumping back and forth between simple addition and subtraction problems than monolinguals, suggesting generally better cognitive control.
Ellen Bialystok of York University, in Canada, the godmother of the field, has compared the cognitive protection bilingualism offers to the coverage of a piece of bread afforded by a slice of holey Swiss cheese. Doing other things that are good for the brain, such as exercise, is like piling the slices. Their holes occur in different places, and thus collectively offer greater protection.
But all related studies take for granted the uncontroversial mental superpower that you get from language study: being able to talk to people you could not have spoken to, or understood, otherwise. Even if you cannot pick your parents and be fluent from babyhood, that should be more than enough reason to give it a go.
32.What is the most noticeable cognitive advantage of multilingualism?
A.Opening doors to conversations. B.Improving powers of concentration.
C.Delaying the beginning of dementia. D.Boosting information processing ability.
33.Why are interpreters and translators mentioned?
A.To highlight the importance of learning more languages.
B.To prove cognitive benefit of proficiency in bilingualism.
C.To make a comparison between bilinguals and monolinguals.
D.To suggest the direct link between math and language learning.
34.What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A.Learning foreign languages gives full protection to cognition.
B.Exercise can provide greater cognitive protection for the brain.
C.The holes of bilingualism cannot be filled by any other practice.
D.Bilingualism plus multiple activities relieves cognitive decline.
35.What is the author’s intention in writing the passage?
A.To justify previous studies. B.To raise a controversial topic.
C.To encourage people to learn languages. D.To speak highly of bilingualism.

We all have mornings when we wake up on the wrong side of the bed. 36 However, it is not necessarily something to worry about. An occasional bad mood is human. A negative mood can even be good for you, helping you to make better decisions and prepare for danger. What matters more is how we cope when we are in a negative mood.
Be mindful and accept your feelings
“Feel your feelings, but don’t become your feelings,” advises Dr. Ethan Kross, a professor of psychology. For example, anxiety can make you feel like a failure. Instead, tell yourself, “I notice I’m feeling anxious.” 37 And remind yourself, “My feelings are valid, but they don’t determine my worth.”
Distance yourself from your feelings
If you are feeling bad, you might find yourself stuck in a negative cycle. To break it, you can try to separate yourself from your feelings. 38 Research suggests that people who refer to themselves by name or as “you” rather than “I” during self-talk are better at managing strong feelings.
Remember that feelings pass
You might fear that your bad mood will last forever. 39 Moods are often short-lived, and sometimes they are the result of physical factors such as tiredness or hunger. So, the next time you find yourself in a bad mood, take a moment to check in with your body. If you need to eat or rest, do it. Often, that is enough to lift your spirits.
Do something creative
When you feel sad, you might think your productivity will decrease. 40 In fact, sadness can promote analytical thinking, attention to detail, and persistence. Therefore, if you are feeling low, consider using the time to work on a complex project. You may surprise yourself with what you can accomplish.
A.This way, you can recognize them without judgment.
B.This simple shift in language can create a sense of psychological distance.
C.But such concerns are understandable and can also help you remain cautious.
D.But research shows that negative emotions can actually fuel creative performance.
E.We feel annoyed, anxious, or simply low for reasons that sometimes remain unknown.
F.However, the reality is that emotions, whether positive or negative, usually fade with time.
G.Therefore, it is crucial to seek professional help when negative emotions become overwhelming.

Imagine this heartwarming scene. A person going through a 41 time in an underserved community can visit a friendship bench. Here, older strangers, 42 their life experience, wisdom and empathy, will act as a listening ear, engaging in gentle 43 when needed. This is the 44 talk therapy (治疗) idea of global mental health researcher, Professor Dixon Chibanda.
The Friendship Bench Zimbabwe was founded by Chibanda in 2006. At that time, mental health received 45 0.42 percent of the total healthcare budget. The project was based on years of 46 on how to deliver mental health effectively. The friendship bench 47 a wooden park bench being put in a public space, and the 48 of kind help from so-called “grandmothers” and “grandfathers” to anyone passing. The friendship bench provides safe places in the communities for people to chat together, as talk therapy can help people experiencing 49 like anxiety and depression. The model has spread to 50 countries like Malawi, the US, Jordan, and Qatar and it has helped over half a million in the past three years.
The friendship bench is the brainchild of Chibanda. He is on a mission to 51 that support from older 52 , who are rooted in their communities, can 53 the mental health treatment access gap. Seeing huge numbers of people living with feelings of depression, exhaustion, loneliness, and anxiety, Chibanda says he was 54 to develop the model after he grasped that the answers to the global mental health 55 do not lie in more diagnoses of disorders and medications.

67.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Kia and I left our jobs and went on a round-the-world trip. The Arctic Circle trail (北极圈步道)had been on my bucket list for 10 years. I loved the outdoors and escaping into a simple routine of food,water and sleep.
I had two weeks to spare, so I booked the trip. Greenland is 80% ice sheet, but the trail was in the ice-free 20% in the summer, when there’s 24-hour daylight.
There were no trees, which I found quite strange — mostly low bushes and brush,and mountains like the Scottish Highlands but higher, different from what I had learnt about Greenland. The trail went through rocky valleys and small rivers. I’d never encountered such pure wilderness.
I’d prepared carefully. I was carrying all my food, maps, medicines, satellite phone and equipment. I knew, because of my travelling, I was part of the problem when it came to the environment, so I tried to leave no waste behind, and follow plant-based diet. I stayed in locally run campsites, free huts (木屋)and hotels. I even packed my thickest raincoat. Wildfire never even crossed my mind: It wasn’t California, after all.
By the seventh day of the holiday, we were ahead of schedule and in a green area between two huge,still lakes that reflected the mountains, cloudless blue sky and bright red huts. I stopped often,taking photos. I was heading for the next overnight hut and thinking about sleeping in an ice hotel at the end of the trail. It was so hot that I had my scarf tied under my cap to keep the sweat from my eyes.
At about 3 pm, I spotted some smoke ahead. Then I met two American hikers coming from that direction. They said a tiny peat fire (泥炭火灾)had broken out because the Arctic was warming two to three times faster than the global average. The smoke got a bit thicker, but I didn’t think I’d need to change my direction. I carried on.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右。
(2)开头已给出。
Paragraph 1:
But within minutes the smoke covered us.

Paragraph 2:
I later learned that the dry Arctic was perfect for the peat fires.
